Did you know that the Cortland YMCA is host to a FREE Tobacco Cessation Support Group on the third Thursdays of the Month?
However, according to the Cortland County Health Department, there will be a support group meeting tomorrow, July 16 from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. at 22 Tompkins Street, Cortland.
Cayuga Medical Center’s cessation guru, Kathy Eliason, is the group facilitator.
If you have questions, you can contact Kathy at (607) 252-3590. She will help individuals develop their own plan.
Classes are also held on select days in Ithaca at the Cayuga Med and Ithaca YMCA locations.
E-cigarettes (including the popular JUUL brand) are not a proven aid to help people quit. The good news is that there are seven FDA approved medications available! Â And Medicaid covers them.
The Tobacco Free Zone program urges people to talk with their healthcare provider about a personalized plan. The NYS Smokers’ Quitline is another FREE service: 1-866-NY-QUITS or NYSmokefree.com
